Curator Mary Helen Dellinger shares how an 1825 plantation house and the Naylor family’s resilience illuminate Northern Virginia’s path from the Revolutionary era to today.

As America approaches its 250th anniversary, the site offers a powerful window into what changed—and what endured—in Northern Virignia.

The cameras are part of a new automated speed enforcement program intended to encourage slower driving and reduce crashes around schools, not primarily to generate citations, according to the Sheriff’s Office under Sheriff David P. Decatur.
